The^^rfestern Carolinian THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1977 Vol. XLIII, No. 13 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Break-ins hit WCU A series of possibly related, but amateur break-ins occurred last week on the Western Carolina campus which Security, Chief Pritchard Smith called "strange and nonprofessional." On the evening of November 8, a first floor window was broken out to gain entry to Hoey Auditorium where two turntables, two amplifiers, and one electric voice were found missing lhe following morning. Then between late Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning a series of related break-ins occurred. Chief Smith theorizes that the evening's evenls look place as follows: two to three individuals entered a classroom building adjoining the Supply Store and broke into twelve vending machines, taking an unaccountable amount of goods and money. The) then broke into the University Supply Store ihrough a window next to the theater arts department. lhe individuals. Supply Store employes discovered, took ten sample men's Josten class rings, two typewriters, and several I'entel pens. Next to the doorway to the Supply Store there were found several the a A number of important leads arose when Security began ils investigation, mostly because of the ineptitude of the thieves. In the woods across from the Supply Store security officers found one of the typewriters, a large fitted sheet containing 100 packs of cigarettes, candy . and several sels of scales taken from Stillwell Science building, and two bags with candy and drinks from the classroom building. Another lead discovered with the other items was a theater arts book, lhe book was later found lo have been stolen from a sludenl about three weeks ago. Chief Smith said. "We don't give them credit for being smart. Why not take the watches, and there was a bag of warm-up suits at the door that they totally overlooked." Smith also said. "Honestly, 1 don't believe it is one of our college students, unless they're out of their right minds." When asked if there had been any similar crimes Committed in the last few years, reference was made to a very professional group from Western Carolina caught using crowbars in Gatlinburg and Bryson City a Turn to Page 3, please. ~~jtl Electrical fire burns ThetaXi An electrical fire erupted in the upstairs bedroom of the Theta Xi house early Sunday morning causing extenisve damage to the upper portion of the house. The fire was reported about 2:12 a.m. by one of the Theta Xi brothers who called it in from the Pi Kappa Village down the road. Cullowhee fireman Clarence Pressley said they arrived on the scene about 2:20 a.m. and that. "It all happened so fast. We had it under control in thirty minutes all hough it was beginning to blaze pretty good when we got there. If we hadn't been there within eight minutes, the whole house would have burned." Damage to the house was estimated between SI0-S12.000. mostly smoke damage along with some damage to the roof. Pressley said most of the occupants got out without any problems except for one couple who were trapped in an upstairs room and had to jump out the window . Pressley illustrated the speed of the fire department by saying. "The boy who found the fire went to the Pi Kappa Village; by the time he got there, made the call and had come back to the Theta Xi house, we were already there." "When we first got there, we thought we might lose it." Pressley said. He noted they asked for backup assistance from the Sylva volunteers who arrived on the scene about ten minutes after the Cullowhee unit. lhe Svlva unit didn't stay long according to Pressley because, "they saw we had it under control, so they turned back around." Even though the fire was under control by 3 a.m.. Pressley said their unit staved until about five to make sure the fire was completely out. "A lot of the boys lost all their stuff because they weren't there." according to Pressley who noted that many of the one ' o were there were carrying some of their belonging t when they arrived. Presslcv said tins was a very unfortunate occurence because not only did many of the members lose their belongings, but thev also lost their place of residence. He added thai Chancellor Robinson has offered some of the members residency in his house as have many Other local residents. lhe Cullowhee fire department wasn't finished for the weekend as Dr. Yvonne Phillips called in a fire around 11:30 p.m. Sunday night. Presslev said it was a small chimney fire that caused "only a little smoke damage." Pressley also reminds the Cullowhee residents that the Cullowhee fire department is strictly a volunteer group. "All these men have full-time jobs and we receive absolutely no pay for our work."
